The comedy legend joined the BBC One soap in 2021<\/a>, with Rocky initially introduced as Terry Cant, the biological father of Sonia Fowler (Natalie Cassidy).<\/p>\n However, a later twist revealed Rocky to be Tom Cotton and taking part in a long con with his niece Dotty Cotton (Milly Zero).<\/p>\n Now the character is poised to marry his beloved Kathy Beale (Gillian Taylforth) but many are wondering if he could be the mystery character set to die on Christmas Day<\/a> following the flash-forward scene in February<\/a>.<\/p>\n Speaking on Steph\u2019s Packed Lunch on Thursday (8th June 2023), Conley teased the flash-forward mystery.<\/p> Conley noted: \u201cIn February we had a lovely episode where it flashed forward to Christmas, and someone\u2019s dead in The Vic and Letitia is there in a wedding dress and she\u2019s covered in blood.<\/p>\n \u201cSo everyone\u2019s going, \u2018O my God, who\u2019s dead?\u2019, as well as all the actors in the show, and all you saw was it\u2019s a male, or is it, I don\u2019t know.<\/p>\n \u201cYou just saw the cufflinks and I think everyone has been looking out for those cufflinks for a while now.\u201d<\/p>\n However, despite the speculation of cast members, Conley claims that none of them knows who the victim is.<\/p>\n He said: \u201cNone of us have got a clue. I believe leading up to Christmas, there might be ten of us laying there so that it will be a big surprise to us as well.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re all going to maybe film a moment where we\u2019re all laying on the floor and then right up until the last minute they can reveal on Christmas Day who it is.\u201d<\/p>\n It was then that Conley revealed has been left wondering whether Rocky could be the one to die.<\/p>\n \u201cYou\u2019re in an ongoing drama so you know people do pass away and you do live on tenterhooks, especially if you\u2019re enjoying it,\u201d noted the actor, \u201cand we all are, they\u2019re a lovely bunch, everyone there.\u201d<\/p>\n He added: \u201cI\u2019m very happy to be there and I just think what we\u2019re doing now and the fact that it\u2019s the number one soap is very exciting.\u201d<\/p>\n At present, Rocky is engaged to marry Kathy but is set to be confronted by his wife Jo Cotton (Vicki Michelle) once again<\/a> as their divorce papers remain unsigned and she has a secret to taunt him with.<\/p>\n Will Rocky and Kathy make it up the aisle?<\/p>\n Read More<\/strong><\/p>\n EastEnders airs Mondays to Thursdays at 7:30pm on BBC One and from 6am on BBC iPlayer.\u00a0<\/strong>Visit our dedicated\u00a0EastEnders<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0page\u00a0<\/strong>for all the latest news, interviews and spoilers.<\/strong><\/p>\n If you\u2019re looking for more to watch, check out our\u00a0<\/strong>TV Guide<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Streaming Guide<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n Take part in\u00a0the Screen Test<\/a>, a project from Radio Times and the Universities of Sussex and Brighton, to explore the role of television and audio in our lives.<\/strong><\/p>\n Try Radio Times magazine today and get 12 issues for only \u00a31 with delivery to your home \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>subscribe now<\/strong><\/a>.
